I remember those days. Learning shows, playing awesome tunes and really really loving doing it. It's been LOTS of years since I've picked up an instrument. I don't have it anymore either. Ya know, I just really really love marching band. Anything pertaining to it. All things about it. I JUST LOVE IT! I played in band from 6th grade to 12th and regretted not going to a college that allowed me to continue ever since. I wouldn't trade the college I went to for anything. The experience there was, well, interesting, but I made the most amazing friends and that I wouldn't trade.
The beginning of fall and football season always take me back to those days. It's like the smell of fall and marching on the turf go hand in hand. I literally still get chills when I watch a band perform and I love watching the kids act so silly and be so completely wrapped up in the moment. Oh those were the days.
Recently, one of my Facebook friends posted pics from our band days... oh gosh I have to share them...
This is more a pic of her but if you look closely, that's me in the white jacket - Ms. Field Commander herself :)
Me again, leading our band in the parade. Look at our little podunk town!
None of me here, but band... all band :)
And yes we were small, but man were we mighty! So many memories here. I cherish each one!
